Truck: 2014 Tacoma access cab with factory front 6x9s and 3-1/2" tweeters in the front doors.
The Kicker KS series component set sounds great and installed well. The 6x9s with the adapters you sent dropped right in. There was a solid 3.5" mount included that needed drilled to ressess the 2" tweeter into the factory location but that worked fine.
There was harness adapters included for free for the 6x9s, but not the tweeters (A 4-wire plug).
We found that the main harness runs through the tweeter first, with a resistor at the tweeter, and if unplugged, there is no power to the 6x9 plug.
Had I installed a non-component set, I would have had adapters for the 6x9s but not the tweeters, or in this case, since running a component set, I wasn't sure whether to input the crossover from the 4-wire plug at the tweeter which gets signal first, or the 6x9 plug which gets signal second..the problem being the 6x9 factory plug has no power once the stock tweeter is disconnected.
I went with splicing into the 4-wire plug , input to the crossover, and out from there with no adapters, everything sounds accurate and crisp considering the stock head unit. Definitely an upgrade from the factory set!
